New combo therapy may offer relief for chronic watery eyes
NCT ID NCT07372014
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares using an anti-inflammatory eye drop (nepafenac) plus a lubricant versus a lubricant alone to treat watery eyes (epiphora) caused by narrowing of the tear duct opening. Researchers will measure changes in tear duct size and symptom severity in 68 Mexican adults. The goal is to see if adding the anti-inflammatory drop provides better relief.
